### OVERVIEW

This repository includes reproduction files for McLaughlin et al. (2024).

There are three annotated R scripts. The code that cleans the data is contained
in one file: `initialize.R`. Code related to figures or analyses presented in 
the manuscript can be found in `manuscript.R` while the code for those presented
in the appendix can be found in `appendix.R`. 

The primary data used in this project were collected on a team module of the
2022 Cooperative Election Study (cces.gov.harvard.edu). These survey data are
available in `CCES22-CAC-OUTPUT.sav`. Three additional data files (`states.csv`,
`mc117.csv`, and `mc118.csv`) contain supplemental information about state 
redistricting processes and respondents' members of Congress. 

The online appendix referenced in the manuscript is available in 
`Online-Appendix.pdf`.

Finally, there is a lock file (`renv.lock`) that contains all information 
necessary for reproducing the computing environment in R either manually or via
the `renv` package in R.
